Every employer looks for consistency in a candidate. However, it is a fact that in today's world, almost everyone is changing jobs for the following reasons:
• Better salary and working conditions.
• New job opportunities and challenges.
• Good culture and facilities in the office.
• Wanting to spend less time traveling and looking for an office nearer to their home.
• Not satisfied with the boss's behavior.
• Wanting to work in a well-known company, etc.
The Standard Interview Question
In such a scenario, should an employer ask the standard question, "Why do you want to change your present company?" when it is a fact that the employer urgently needs to fill that position?
I understand that the employer is looking for stability and commitment in a candidate. What is wrong with changing jobs frequently if a person's ultimate goal is to work in a company of their choice and dreams? I believe that the time will come when one will spend a long time in a company of their choice until retirement. But until that time, why not look for a change? Working for multiple companies exposes you to different work cultures, diversifying your experience. This experience can be accumulated and utilized in a larger company where it was not previously possible due to the following reasons:
• The person may not be qualified and experienced for the job.
• Companies may only recruit students from top management institutes and those conducting full-time courses, thus rejecting part-time MBA candidates.
